We are pleased to have started the ball rolling with the first sale in Europe, and expect this momentum to continue as our ongoing negotiations are converted into sales. Sales of the STREAMWAY System are an important near-term revenue driver for the Company and we continue to focus on investing in both our European and U.S. marketing efforts, as we simultaneously execute on our new growth strategy within the precision medicine market. Both the Skyline Medical division and our operations in the precision medicine market represent exciting opportunities for the Company to grow revenues and build shareholder value.”
